Hello. My name is Scott Sutherland, and I'm a meteorologist and science writer for The Weather Network.
Before joining The Weather Network news team in 2014, I started the Geekquinox blog on Yahoo! News Canada, just days after NASA's Curiosity rover landed on Mars in August of 2012. Although Geekquiox is no longer being updated, my articles appear regularly on The Weather Network website, specifically in the Space, Weather, and Climate categories.
Edits[edit]
I have only performed one edit to my recollection, correcting an error in temperature conversion in the first paragraph of the February 2021 North American cold wave page.
Citations[edit]
My articles, from the Geekquinox blog and from Weather Network News, have been cited on several pages. A (likely incomplete) list is below:
- Bow City crater - Citation #3
- Bow City, Alberta - Citation #5
- Lake Erie - Citation #86

Note: One that probably SHOULD exist, but does not, is in the January 2019 lunar eclipse article. I was the person who first named this eclipse the Super Blood Wolf Moon.[1][2][3] In the months after I named it, the name spread across media and social media, but my attribution did not follow. Even though I have sources, self-serving edits to articles is frowned upon here, so I have not added the reference to the eclipse page. If someone else wants to add it, though...
